Root FS loading from DVD and not harddisk

[ebjers]

I created a FreeNAS virtual appliance in Hyper-V using Gen 1 (BIOS/MBR)

The OS is installed to a 23GB VHDX and there is a physical array attached to the VM to use as the backup storage.

When I boot the VM it seems it is loading the root fs from the DVD iso I used during installation and not the local hard drive. If I eject the DVD the VM fails to boot as it can not find the root-fs.

I have built this multiple times and each time I end up with the same results. How can I make it load the root fs from the VHDX where it is installed?

I am running 9.10.2

Can you please upload a screenshot of the error?

Here you go

It is trying to load the root fs from the installation DVD so when the DVD is not present it will not boot.
